A local factor, connected to the job in front of you
SES Autoparts supplies garages and workshops across the South and South West of England and into South Wales, from seven branches with trade counters and local van delivery.
In BOOKAR, an SES order goes out from the purchase order raised on the job. The order number comes back and is stored against it — exactly as it is for NAPA, GSF and Bond — so the buying record for the job is complete whichever supplier the parts came from.
Live integration — available on your BOOKAR account with an SES trade account.

What the SES integration does
Local factors win on the van run and on the person who answers the phone. The integration keeps that relationship and removes the paperwork around it.
Order from the purchase order
The parts on the job become the purchase order, and the purchase order becomes the order. No re-keying, no second reference.
Order number on the job
The SES order number is stored against the purchase order, so the delivery note and the job line up without anyone remembering which was which.
Built for a van run
Local delivery works best when the order goes early and accurately. Ordering from the job means it goes out as soon as the work is agreed.
Premium or value, on the same job
SES stock premium marques such as Bosch, Valeo, NGK, Moog and Gates alongside value ranges, so you can price the job the way the customer needs it.
A full audit trail
Every submission is recorded against the job with its result, so a query weeks later has somewhere to start.
Into the accounts
Receipt against the PO, match the supplier invoice, and export it with everything else at the end of the period.
From the job to SES Autoparts and back
Four steps, all of them inside the work your team is already doing.
Agree the work
The job is built in BOOKAR with the vehicle, the labour and the parts the technician has identified.
Raise the purchase order
BOOKAR turns the parts lines into a purchase order against SES as the supplier.
Send it to SES
Submit from the purchase order. The SES order number comes back and is stored on the PO.
Receive on the van run
Book the delivery in against the order, and the cost lands on the job and in your accounts.
Why garages turn it on
If you buy from a regional factor because of the service, the last thing you want is a portal in the way of it.
- Orders raised the moment the work is agreed, in time for the van
- One reference shared by the garage and the branch
- No separate ordering screen for the front desk to learn
- Deliveries booked against the job that caused them
- Costs and margins right on the invoice
- Consistent process across every supplier you buy from

Common questions about SES Autoparts
Which areas does SES cover?
The South and South West of England and South Wales, from seven branches. If you are outside that footprint, BOOKAR also connects to national factors — NAPA and GSF among them.
Do I need an SES account?
Yes. Orders are placed on your own trade account, so your pricing and terms are the ones you have already agreed with SES.
Can I use SES alongside other suppliers?
Yes — the supplier is chosen per purchase order, so different parts on the same job can come from different factors and each order is tracked separately.
The rest of the stack
BOOKAR connects to the suppliers, data providers and payment platforms a UK garage already runs on.
